FAQ
-
What measuring principle does the PR6424/010-130 operate on?
It uses the eddy current principle, where displacement is detected by monitoring the interaction between the probe’s electromagnetic field and the conductive shaft surface. -
How does the CON021 converter support this sensor?
The CON021 linearizes raw signals, minimizes error, and provides standardized output for integration into monitoring systems. -
What is the usable frequency response of this sensor?
It covers a wide frequency range from DC to 20 kHz, suitable for both low- and high-speed machinery. -
Can this sensor measure both static and dynamic displacement?
Yes, it is designed for continuous monitoring of both steady-state shaft displacement and transient vibration events. -
How is the sensor protected against electromagnetic interference?
Shielded coaxial cables and optimized electronic design provide strong immunity to EMI and RFI. -
Is the sensor suitable for both radial and axial measurements?
Yes, depending on mounting position, it can measure radial shaft vibration or axial rotor displacement. -
Which target materials are best suited for this sensor?
It is optimized for conductive materials such as steel, commonly used in shafts and rotors. -
What type of monitoring systems can the sensor integrate with?
Once conditioned by the CON021, it can interface with Epro MMS systems and third-party monitoring platforms. -
Does the sensor require recalibration after installation?
No frequent recalibration is required, as the probe and CON021 are factory-calibrated as a matched pair. -
How does the system detect abnormal machine conditions?
The sensor provides real-time displacement and vibration data, enabling monitoring systems to trigger alarms if thresholds are exceeded.
